PRESBYTERIAN
COLLEGE
A Four Year, Coeducational,
Liberal Arts College
The rhetoric's the same. It always is.
Everycatalog, everyhandbook, U.S.A.
Same words, same phrases, same pious
claims, same empty promises.
Freedom, quality, responsibility, maturity,
intellectual stimulation, social interaction,
on and on and on.
But what's it really like? What is the real
reality?
Who knows? Nobody seems to care.
But here, maybe things will be different.
Not for certain, mind you, just maybe.
But what will make it so?
Words? No! Symbols? No! Buildings? No!
Promises? No!
Apathy? No!
What then? It's simple.
The integrity and depth of your response to
a human life challenged— a precious life.
Your life.
A total life. A Ufe with a birth, a death, and
a destiny.
A total existence which demands a total
response.
Yes, response. That's the key word.
So understand the stakes.
It is your life, your future, your destiny, so
take it seriously.
Joy in intellectual curiosity.
Be aware of the Transcendent.
Plumb the depths of the human spirit.
Develop a proficiency in the exciting art of
living and learning and serving.
Dare to be men and women for others.
Find yourself in a community that cares.
Seek reinforcement and enUghtenment from
every situation you encounter, every
person you touch.
Elevate the vision of this college and this
society.
But understand that the responsibility for this
response rests with you.
It can come from nowhere else.
This is as it should be.
Welcome to Florida Presbyterian College.
Billy O. Wireman
Tresident
Free Men In a Free Society
The liberal arts are designed to fit a human
being to live the life of a free man in a free
society. Such a man is responsible for the use
he makes of his freedom and also for maintain-
ing his own freedom and that of others. There-
fore, he must have an understanding of men and
of human society. He must be sensitive to the
creative dimensions of the human spirit on both
an individual and a social level. He must be
free of the narrowness of experience and rigidity
of personality that would blind him to the feel-
ings and accomplishments of those who are
different. With a sound appreciation of the ec-
onomic and technological foundations of society,
he must be hberated from bondage to them by
a deep awareness of the spiritual dimension of
human experience.
The Community of Learning
The Florida Presbyterian College community
is one in which the resources and incentives for
learning are strong. Each student assumes the
basic responsibiUty for making the best possible
use of the resources of the community in his
effort to learn. Each student has his own hopes
and dreams and his learning is guided by them,
and at the same time he is a member of a com-
munity of inquiring and creative minds, at the
college and beyond the college. He learns and
creates within the critical and sympathetic view
of his fellows, some of whom are more, and
some less, experienced than he.
Within the community of learning at Florida
Presbyterian College both conventional and un-
conventional methods of inquiry are used. In
guiding our students' development we afford
them many opportunities to learn emotional
independence and to practice individual re-
sponsibiHty. The college cherishes freedom of
thought and insists upon respect for human
dignity.
Throughout the intellectual and social life
of the college we find the vital interplay of
the individual and the community. In the most
individual learning experience, the one-to-one
meeting of learner and teacher in conference,
both are responsive to the standards of the
community of learning; in the largest lecture
the seats are filled by individuals each with his
own background, understanding, and goals. In
meeting its responsibility to its students, the
college uses a great range of learning situations,
materials, and devices. By their initiative and
dihgence, the students in turn meet their re-
sponsibility to themselves and to the community
of which they are part.
Liberal Arts Curriculum
The liberal arts curriculum, which includes
delving deeply into an area of major interest,
leads directly to a wide variety of opportunities
for interesting and socially constructive work
or to further professional and graduate studies.
Of the members of the eight classes that have
graduated since the founding of the college,
nearly half have undertaken some form of grad-
uate study immediately after graduation. Grad-
uates of the college are currently studying a
variety of subjects, including medicine, law,
and divinity, in graduate schools; others are
teaching in colleges and secondary schools;
while others are meeting successfully the chal-
lenges of the world of business and commerce,
or serving the community as civil servants or
social workers. The success of the college is
measured in large part by the degree to which
it enables its graduates to find satisfaction in
their contributions to the betterment of society
and the quaUty of human life.
Florida Presbyterian College expects that its
graduates will realize that an education does
not end in four years, but ideally continues
during an entire lifetime.
Students and Faculty
Certain kinds of curriculum and methods are
appropriate only with excellent students and
the college seeks such students. The college
has few rigid requirements, but expects pro-
spective students to have considerable attain-
ment in academic subjects. In addition to scho-
larly achievement, students should display
breadth of interest and excellence of character.
Students who enter the college should be eager
to grow intellectually and spiritually, and must
be ready to accept responsibility for their own
learning and for constructive participation in a
community of learning. The faculty are well
qualified. In addition, they have come to Florida
Presbyterian because of their belief in the value
of liberal education and because of their desire
to work with students. The typical Florida
Presbyterian College professor has a genuine
interest in the personal and scholarly growth of
his students.
A Christian Community
Florida Presbyterian College was founded in
1958 by the t\vo Presbyterian Synods of the state
of Florida. Its foundation and its maintenance
are part of the ongoing ministry of the Church
to the world that Christ came to serve. Its doors
are open to qualified students of all convictions.
It is inconsistent with Presbyterian tradition to
claim perfection either for individuals or for
communities. Nevertheless, the college believes
that its Christian heritage is both vital and essen-
tial. We have a vision of the college as a com-
munity in constant interaction with the world
around it which prepares dedicated people to
go into the world to witness in response to their
own callings.
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
Core Courses
During each of his four years, the student
takes a course of study which is also being
undertaken by all the rest of his classmates.
This is the interdisciplinary Core course which
is taught cooperatively by professors of all aca-
demic disciplines of the college. The aims of
the course are to promote a community of learn-
ers, to demonstrate the interrelatedness of know-
ledge, and to encourage the student to think
about the important questions of the natvure of
man, his relation to God, to nature, and to his
fellow men.
The 4-1-4 Calendar
Florida Presbyterian College uses a 4-1-4
calendar. This is a shorthand way of summar-
izing the major features of the calendar. There
are three terms: fall, winter, and spring. During
fall and spring term most students study four
subjects, whereas during the middle, or winter
term, they work intensively on a single subject.
The fall term begins around Labor Day and
ends just before Christmas; winter term takes
up the month of January; and spring term lasts
from the first of February until Memorial Day.
Winter Term
The winter term is a special four-week period
of independent study for all undergraduates.
With examinations for the fall term over before
Christmas, January is free for intensive study.
Designed to develop the qualities of self-
discipline in pursuits requiring the student to
be the prime explorer, the winter term asks him
to work without the customary routine of class-
room and lecture hall on a single problem of
particular interest to him. With guidance he
chooses and delimits his subject, gathers his
material, organizes it, and presents it as a paper,
a short story, a painting, or a piece of laboratory
apparatus.
During winter term each professor directs the
activities of fifteen to twenty students. Some
students are enrolled in projects designed by
professors and others design their omti and ob-
tain the sponsorship of a professor. Projects
must have academic or creative merit and are
judged by rigorous standards. Throughout the
four weeks the professor is available for consul-
tation and guidance.
The intensive, independent study of winter
term supplements the extensive work of the
courses in fall and spring term. In recent years
a large number of other colleges have followed
the example of Florida Presbyterian College in
adopting a winter term. The fact that other
colleges also ha\>e the program makes it pos-
sible for our students to spend one of their
winter terms on the campus of another college,
while a student of that college comes to Florida
Presbyterian. This possibility of exchange vastly
increases the range of projects open to our stu-
dents. Florida Presbyterian College also co-
operates with other 4-1-4 colleges in sponsoring
winter term projects abroad or in major cities in
the United States. Recently, cooperative projects
were offered in London, Ireland, Jamaica, Mex-
ico, New York and Washington.

Independent Preparation
By preparing himself to demonstrate profi-
ciency in an examination, and by independent
or directed study, a student is able to advance
his education during times when he is off cam-
pus, and receive full credit for work done inde-
pendently. Of course he is also free to prepare
himself in these ways while he is in residence
on campus.
Demonstration of proficiency : Students with
advanced levels of proficiency in certain areas
may receive course credit or advanced standing
by successful performance in an examination.
Students taking such examinations will be judged
on the basis of their demonstrated proficiency
and not on the basis of their formal academic
experience. In many areas, students can prepare
for examinations independently and receive rec-
ognition for their work without attending lec-
tures and classes.
Independent study : A student who desires to
study a topic in which no regular instruction is
offered may obtain the sponsorship of a pro-
fessor under whom he will study that topic in-
dependently. As students reach advanced levels
in their major subjects and related areas, they
often develop special interests that can best be
furthered by planning a course of independent
study. A student undertaking independent study
signs a contract which is also signed by his
sponsoring professor. The contract indicates
what the subject of study is and what criteria
will be used in evaluating the success of the
project.
Directed study : Sometimes students want to
study a subject in which a course is offered
but, for any number of reasons, prefer not to
take the course. In many areas of the curriculum
such students have the option of taking the
course by directed study. In directed study the
student follows a course syllabus and submits
work for evaluation at periodic intervals. He
covers much the same ground that is covered
in a standard course, but works at his own pace
under the supervision of the professor. It is also
possible to take some courses by directed study
that are never offered as regular courses or are
offered infrequently. A set of directed study
guides has recently been prepared at the college
with assistance from a grant from the Ford
Foundation.
Studies Abroad
To improve our students' understanding of the
world community as well as their appreciation
of their own country, Florida Presbyterian Col-
lege makes available a variety of opportunities
for study abroad. Since its second year, Florida
Presbyterian College has organized overseas
study programs as an important facet of its
international education program. Winter term
projects abroad are conducted annually and,
through exchange with other colleges on similar
calendars, it is possible for students to enroll in
programs carried out in any part of the world.
The college has also organized special Summer
Institutes in Europe, Hong Kong, India, Japan,
Yugoslavia and the Near East.
As a member of the Associated Mid-Florida
Colleges, Florida Presbyterian invites its stu-
dents to participate in year abroad programs in
Neuchatel, Freiburg and Madrid.
In the fall, 1970, the college began a new
pilot project in international studies. Operating
out of the college's London Study Center, stu-
dents can undertake Core and specially organ-
ized independent study projects in the British
Isles and on the continent. Travel, room and
board, and all regular program expenses are
provided for in the regular comprehensive
charges of the college.
Degrees
Florida Presbyterian College awards the de-
grees of Bachelor of Arts to students in History
ml
and Social Sciences, the Humanities and Modem
Languages; and Bachelor of Science to students
in Mathematics and the Natvu-al Sciences.
Normal Program of Study
The bachelor's degree is granted upon demon-
stration of proficiency in the interdisciplinary
Core program, a major subject and its related
fields, and reading skills.
1. The Interdisciplinary Core Program:
One course during each semester of residence
is devoted to this interdisciplinary program
which functions as an integrating force for the
individual and for the campus as a community
of scholars. Each student moves from close ex-
amination of specified materials into elected
studies of cultiures and issues.
2. A Major Subject and its Related Fields:
Each student must complete study in a major
field. Major requirements are specified in terms
of courses or proficiencies. In his Senior year
each student must either prepare a Senior thesis
or take a comprehensive examination depending
upon the desires of the student and the consent
of the faculty in the major discipline.
The college offers majors in the following areas:
Humanities: Art, Literature, Music, Philoso-
phy, Rehgion.
History and Social Sciences: Economics, His-
tory, Political Science, Management, Psycho-
logy, Social Psychology, Sociology and An-
thropology;
Modern Languages: French, German, Spanish
and Russian.
Mathematics and the Natural Sciences: Bi-
ology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics;
East Asian Studies.
Students may also pursue a divisional or in-
terdivisional major consisting of ten or more
courses of which six will represent concentra-
tyatfff^ii^:-.
tion in one discipline with the additional courses
related to this area of concentration.
3. Reading Skills : A reading laboratory is
available to help all students improve their
reading speed and comprehension. AH students
must demonstrate an abihty to read at a rate of
at least 425 words per minute v^dth a compre-
hension of 70%.
Ordinarily a student must complete foiu" years
in residence and successfully complete 32
courses and four winter term programs. A 4-1-4
program is the normal minimal academic load
for all students. Students desiring to transfer
into Florida Presbyterian College may be cre-
dited with as much as two years of college
work undertaken elsewhere. In order to gradu-
ate from Florida Presbyterian College a stu-
dent must spend at least two years, including
his Senior year, at the college.
Considerable freedom in the manner of ful-
filling these requirements is possible. Any stu-
dent, with approval of his faculty adviser, may
petition the Academic Affairs Committee to
substitute other experiences for one or more of
the 32 courses and foiu* winter term programs.
It is possible and often desirable for students to
obtain experience in ways other than passing
courses.
Foreign Language Study
The college formerly required all students to
show proficiency in a foreign language equal to
that normally attained at the end of three years
of college study. In 1970, however, the College
Assembly abolished the language requirement
to allow the student greater flexibility in de-
signing a college program. The college continues
to place great value upon foreign language
study. Most students entering Florida Presby-
terian CoUege do continue the study of lan-
guage and we strongly recommend that apph-
cants to the college take at least four years of
a foreign language in secondary school.
Teacher Education
When instituted, Florida Presbyterian's inno-
vative plan of professional training for secondary
school teachers was unique. It has since become
a model for other institutions to follow. Educa-
tion courses as such have been eliminated. In-
stead, the emphasis is upon gaining teaching
competence through direct involvement in the
teaching process under personalized supervision.
The program has been approved by the State
of Florida Department of Education, and full
certification for graduates is immediately avail-
able in the majority of states - those that have
adopted the new approved program approach
to teacher education.
Application to the Teacher Education pro-
gram is initiated by the student, preferably dur-
ing the Sophomore year. Procedures include
personality and vocational interest testing, let-
ters of reference, and a personal interview with
members of the Teacher Advisory Committee.
.Successful candidates engage in appropriate
non-credit teaching responsibilities for two se-
mesters on campus, or in the St. Petersburg com-
munity and in the public schools. During the
second term of the Senior year they participate
in an intensive five-week block of structured
activities that equip them with the necessary
skills and practical knowledge for the subse-
quent ten weeks of student teaching in Pinellas
County schools. Core 402 is the only academic
course that can be taken during this final
semester.
10
Jefferson House Program
Each year, a limited number of students are
accepted in the Jefferson House Program. In
this program, students are exempted from the
formal graduation requirements and allowed to
design a four-year course of study for them-
selves. The course of study is designed coop-
eratively by the student and one or more of the
Senior Fellows of Jefferson House. It is expected
to be a course of liberal studies that will meet
the particular needs, talents and interests of
the student. Jefferson House seeks, as Junior
Fellows, students who have a clear sense of
direction and who have demonstrated self-dis-
cipline in seeking objectives.
Summer School
Florida Presbyterian College offers a six-week
summer program which includes courses in
several disciplines including mathematics, lit-
erature, and foreign languages. The summer
language program provides an opportunity for
intensive work in understanding, speaking, read-
ing and writing. Native informants, language
tables and practice in conversation are features
of the program. Programs are offered in German,
French, Spanish, and elementary Russian.
In many disciplines there is opportunity for
independent and directed study during the sum-
mer. Summer school is open to all qualified
undergraduates and many courses are open to
capable high school juniors and seniors. The
complete recreational facilities of the college
are open to summer school students. The 1972
summer session begins June 19 and continues
through July 28.
Evaluation
Scholarly and creative activity contain their
own rewards. In order to help focus the atten-
tion of the student on these activities and away
from competition for grade point averages, the
faculty of Florida Presbyterian College have
adopted a simple system of evaluation. In evalu-
ating students' work, we use the grades of HP-
High Pass, P-Pass, and F-Fail.
In addition to providing an overall grade, pro-
fessors report their analyses of the particular
strengths and weaknesses of the students.
The Community
Pinellas County is a peninsula, with offshore
islands, bounded on the west by the Gulf of
Mexico and on the east and south by Tampa
Bay. The city of St. Petersburg occupies the
southern end of the peninsula and the Florida
Presbyterian College campus is located near
the southern tip of the city of St. Petersburg.
Although the vicinity of the campus is sparsely
populated, the campus is within the city limits
of St. Petersburg. The city is readily accessible
by road, via Interstates 75 and 4 and also via
Route US 19, which passes just in front of the
campus. Tampa International Airport, served
by "Several major airlines, is a forty-five minute
drive from the campus. Charter flights can land
at the St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport and
small planes can use the Albert Whitted Airport
in downtown St. Petersburg. There is also rail
service into the city. The population of St.
Petersburg is 226,500 and the total population
of the Tampa Bay area, known as the Suncoast,
is 967,900.
For many years the warm sun, clean air and
pleasant beaches of the area have attracted
winter visitors to St. Petersburg. In recent years
the attractions of the city have become more
diversified as civic minded local citizens have
built the Museum of Fine Arts and formed an
opera association and a symphony orchestra.
The city has recently built the beautiful Bay-
front Center with two large auditoriums which
accommodate a variety of cultural and sporting
events, from ballet to ice hockey. The Ringling
Museum, an excellent collection of art treasures
collected by the Ringling Brothers; the Asolo
Theatre, the repertory theatre of the State of
Florida; and the Circus Museum are located in
Sarasota, a half-hour away, across the Sunshine
Skyway which spans Tampa Bay.
For many years one of the local newspapers
has had a standing offer to give away the paper
any day that the sun does not shine. This offer
has spread the fame of the St. Petersburg cli-
mate, which is an excellent one for work and
study, as well as for relaxation.

THE CAMPUS . . .
CAMPUS LIFE
Florida Presbyterian is a residential college.
Most of its students live on the breeze-swept
bayfront campus in air-conditioned buildings.
The library at present contains more than
93,000 volumes and is increased each year to
ward a goal of 100,000 volumes. Campus facili-
ties include two teaching auditoriums, one
equipped for science demonstrations; a language
laboratory for classroom work or independent
study; science classroom laboratories and indi-
vidual laboratories. The theatre for performing
arts was completed in the spring of 1969. A well-
equipped music center includes individual stu-
dios, choral and instrumental rooms. Athletic
facihties include an AAU swimming pool, soccer
field, tennis courts, sailboats, canoes and practice
golf links. A physical education building and
gymnasium was completed in April, 1970.
Religious Life
Florida Presbyterian College seeks to create
an atmosphere enabling the Christian faith to
be the cornerstone and the central focus of the
total academic community. To accomplish this
purpose the college has created a religious
fellowship called KOINONIA.
The purpose of KOINONIA is to seek to
make religious faith relevant to the total col-
lege community. To accomplish this purpose
KOINONIA emphasizes :
1. a consistent, prayerful and creative search
to understand the meaning of faith in God;
2. the fellowship of the college community
joined together in worship and in work;
3. the involvement of God's people in the
world for the world through acts of love
and reconciliation.
13
Religious activities are open to all, "seek-
ers" and "believers" alike, regardless of church
affiliation or lack of it. The program seeks to
involve students at every level of interest, com-
mitment and maturity.
All aspects of the college's religious program
are voluntary. The chaplain, individual faculty
members, students and choir participate in wor-
ship services conducted for the entire college
community.
By planning and conducting services, students
and faculty have the opportunity for a better
understanding of the meaning of worship. Con-
sideration of campus, community, national and
international problems from the standpoint of
Christian faith provides an approach to religious
relevance. Students also have an opportunity to
take part in regional and national conferences
and ecumenical projects.
Florida Presbyterian College seeks to guide
the student toward an intelligent and responsible
religious commitment in all areas of life.
The Student Association
The Student Association carries the responsi-
bility of student government at Florida Presby-
terian College. The major policy making bodies
of the Student Association are the Legislative
Council, composed of all the presidents of the
residence houses, and the Executive Council,
composed of the five elected officers of the
Student Association. AU students belong to the
Association and the activities of the Association
are financed by an activities fee paid by each
student at the beginning of every school year
as part of the comprehensive charges.
Through its Operations Board, the Student
Association conducts campus social activities,
including weekend darrces and movies. The
Student Association is actively involved in the
ongoing re-examination of the social and aca-
demic life of the college, as well as in commun-
ity service and public relations. The Association
seeks the widest possible student participation
in its programs.
The College Assembly
The College Assembly is a legislative body
which acts upon matters that significantly affect
the life of students and faculty members in the
college community. The College Assembly has
authority in matters of curriculum design and
the regulation of social life, subject to the ap-
proval of the Board of Trustees in matters in-
volving major policy change. The Assembly
consists of all members of the faculty, 35 elected
student members, and six administrative mem-
bers. The student members are the officers of
the Student Association, elected by the entire
student body, and the presidents of the resi-
dence houses, each elected by his own house.
Judicial System
Infractions of campus policies and actions
which are deemed seriously detrimental to the
welfare of the college community are reviewed
by the Student Advisory Council. Minor in-
fractions are reviewed by House Councils. The
function of the Councils is to confront the ac-
cused, determine the facts, and, if the facts are
as alleged, impress upon him the need to accept
responsibility for his behavior. Cases in which
the Councils deem it appropriate to give serious
penalties are referred to a Hearing Committee
consisting of faculty, students, and adminis-
trators.
14
Black Students
In the fall of 1970, there were 28 black stu-
dents enrolled in the college. In the spring of
1970, the college reaffirmed its commitment to
a meaningful and relevant education for black
students. The college has added a black coun-
selor to the admissions staff and has initiated an
intensive effort to recruit more black students
in the conviction that this would enhance the
learning environment for both black and white
students. In the fall of 1968, the black students
organized the Afro-American Society, which
brings to the attention of the campus community
the problems and concerns of black students,
carries on work in the black community of St.
Petersburg, and sponsors the visit to campus of
black speakers.
Communications
Student publications at Florida Presbyterian
College are in a constant state of renewal. Dur-
ing the 1969-70 academic year the students
switched from three formal publications (a
weekly newspaper, a literary magazine published
twice a year, and an annual yearbook) to a
magazine format publication. Publication of the
magazine began during the spring semester of
1970, during which time two publications were
expected. The students also publish twice weekly
a news bulletin titled SUN COMPANY. The
student body also controls and runs the campus-
limited radio station, WFPC, which broadcasts
music and news daily on a closed hook-up sys-
tem to the residence houses.
The editor of the magazine and the manager
of the radio station are elected by the student
body during the spring semester.
Also, each year a Student Handbook is pub-
lished by the college as an informative pubh-
cation for new students at the college. This
publication is edited by students in connection
with the Dean of Students' office.
Sports For All
The intercollegiate athletic program provides
valuable experience to those students who pos-
sess superior physical skills and desire to repre-
sent the institution in formal competition. The
sports included in the program are basketball,
golf, tennis, judo, fencing, baseball, swimming,
cross-country, sailing and soccer. Florida Pres-
byterian College is a member of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association.
Schedules are arranged with most of the
Florida colleges and other senior colleges
throughout the South. The annual Suncoast
Classic Basketball Tournament, the Awards Din-
ner and the Spring Sports Day are a few of the
highlights of the sports program.
Intercollegiate athletics are entirely under the
control of the college and organized and ad-
ministered by the Athletic Department. The
Faculty Athletic Committee supervises all sched-
ules. It also gives attention to the proper re-
lation of athletic activities to the academic ideals
and objectives of the college.
The college sponsors an extensive intramural-
extramural program in 17 different team and
individual sports for both men and women.
Nearly 70 per cent of the student body takes
part in this program.
15
Theatre
The theatre program at Florida Presbyterian
College is centered in a Theatre Workshop in
which all students are invited to participate.
Performances are scheduled throughout the
year: major productions presented with full
staging and under professional discipline; in-
formal experiments, readings and exercises co-
ordinated with the Core program and other pro-
jects. Emphasis is placed upon the contemporary
development of the theatre and upon its engage-
ment with active intellectual, pohtical, social
and religious issues.
The Bininger Center for the Performing Arts
provides an unusual laboratory for the theatre
program. It includes an auditorium with flexible
stage and lighting system, a rehearsal studio,
a shop for the construction of scenery, a co-
ordinated center with dressing rooms, costume
shop, offices, and a conference room.
Artist Series
The College Artist Series for 1971-72 will
feature an in-residence period by most of the
artists, so that students may have the advantage
of lectures, demonstrations, and some master
classes in addition to the formal concert. All of
the concerts this season will be held on the
campus.
16
Lectures and Films
The Core program, the academic societies
and various associations and clubs bring guest
speakers and films throughout the year. Gen-
erally speaking, these programs are open to
the college community. Among the societies
that bring special programs to the campus are
the Social Science Forum, the Chemistry, Bi-
ology and Physics Clubs, Pi Mu Epsilon, honor-
ary mathematical society, and three honorary
language societies. Delta Phi Alpha (German),
Sigma Delta Pi (Spanish) and Eta Sigma Phi
(Classics). Several groups, including the Stu-
dent Association, offer film series.
The college's Free Institutions Forum brings
to the campus each year several nationally re-
cognized experts in various areas of American
life. Each of them visits the campus for several
days, giving two lectures, one of which is open
to the public, and participating in informal dis-
cussion groups with faculty and students. The
1970-71 series included James Reston, Walter
Heller, Kenneth Keniston, and John Kenneth
Galbraith.
Community Internship Program
The college develops opportunities for stu-
dents to work in off-campus community service
projects under the guidance of a faculty member
or of the Student Association. These activities
fall into four general areas: research; tutoring;
paraprofessional training; and planning, strategy
and action for community development. Many
such opportunities are available on a purely
voluntary basis, while others are presented in
the context of courses, in independent study
courses, or in group independent study projects.
Internships lasting a summer or a semester are
also carried out on a limited basis. Course work
for credit involving off-campus community ser-
vice is expected to have both theoretical and
practical components.
Student Personnel Services
Student personnel services are furnished by
the Dean of Students' office, the Counseling
Center, the College Union and the Health Cen-
ter. These services, which are coordinated by
the Deputy Vice President for Student Affairs,
are designed to assist members of the college
community in psychological growth. The em-
phasis is on the individual, his identity search
and development, and his place of importance
and meaning in the community. Many activities
are designed to aid in bringing students, faculty
and administrators into meaningful dialogue and
relationships with each other.
The Dean of Students' staff is comprised of
the Dean of Men, two female Resident Coun-
selors and one male Resident Counselor. The
Resident Counselors have Master's degrees in
counseling and live in the residence complexes.
The Resident Counselors work very closely with
the Resident Adviser program. Resident Advisers
are carefully selected upperclassmen who are
actually in charge of the individual residence
houses. Part of the Resident Adviser's responsi-
bility is to assist in creating a healthy climate
for living in these residences. Another important
person in the house is the Freshman Adviser
who assists new students in the social and liv-
ing transition to the campus.
The Counseling Center is responsible for the
orientation program and faculty adviser assign-
ments. Services rendered by the Counseling
Center are confidential personal counseling,
academic and vocational guidance, encounter
experiences, pre-marital counseling, information
about part-time and summer employment, career
advising, and drug and sex education.
The College Union provides opportunities
for informal recreation and, in cooperation with
the Student Operations Board, carries on an ex-
tensive program of concerts, dances, entertain-
ments and other social activities.
17
Students have access to the college physician
at daily scheduled clinics. Registered nurses are
present at the Health Center on a twenty-four
hour basis to assist the student in health needs.
In addition to the out-patient clinic, a fourteen
bed in-patient service is part of the Health
Center. Cases requiring more extensive care
than is available at the Health Center are ad-
mitted to Bayfront Medical Center (550 beds)
in St. Petersburg.
Individual Responsibility
To live in a community is to balance the de-
mands of unity with those of individuality. While
our educational goal is the fulfillment of each
individual's potentialities, community life de-
mands certain sacrifices from each person to in-
sure over-all survival and equality of living.
When a person joins the Florida Presbyterian
College community, he implicitly agrees to abide
by common agreements, whether or not he con-
curs fully with them, as long as the agreements
are in effect.
A further, and perhaps more difficult, de-
mand is that each member of the community
be concerned with the behavior and develop-
ment of others as well as himself. Each member
must try to see that other members live up to
common standards and agreements. And in turn,
each should be considerate of needs and living
patterns of other members.
The student personnel staff at Florida Presby-
terian College recognizes that a major aspect
of education will result from the use of the
student's own judgment in decision making
and the assuming of responsibility for such de-
cisions. As an institution, Florida Presbyterian
College makes no attempts to be a parental sub-
stitute. Men and women at Florida Presbyterian
College are expected, therefore, to make their
own judgments and to assume responsibility
for their decisions.
The student personnel staff, through all of its
services, attempts to relate to the student on a
18
basis of human concern. In some instances, stu-
dents need to gain more positive and construc-
tive understanding in personal living and in
living in a community of fellow beings. To this
end, services are provided for students having
difficulty with meeting these standards of com-
munity living. The student personnel staff seeks
to respond to students having difficulty, to assist
them in exploring all alternatives available and
to challenge them to reach resolutions suitable
for individuals and the community.
REGULATIONS
Automobiles
A resident student may keep an automobile
on the campus. The privilege of keeping an
automobile on campus may be withdrawn by
the Academic Review Committee or the Student
Advisory Council for students who are in aca-
demic or social difficulty.
Students who keep an automobile on campus
must pay an annual parking fee of $5.
Housing Regulations
Learning occurs in many kinds of situations,
not the least of which is life with friends in
the residence house. We believe that there is no
better way to learn tolerance, leadership and
understanding than by practice in decision mak-
ing. Consequently, in Une with these goals and
aims of the college, life in the residence houses
is oriented toward self government. All men and
women set their own individual curfew hours.
Students are encouraged to register their desti-
nation when leaving the campus for overnight
or any lengthy stay.
In keeping with the autonomy of residence
houses, each house (composed of 34 students)
is free to make its own decision regarding being
open or closed to visitors of the opposite sex
within the hours of noon to midnight on week
days, and noon to 2:00 a.m. on Friday and Sat-
urday. A three-fourths vote by members of the
house is required to establish Open House hours.
Students not wishing to participate in visitation
may keep their room doors closed.
There are seven housing units on campus
referred to as complexes. Each complex consists
of four houses. Each house has a Resident Ad-
viser (senior student) who is in charge of the
house. Three Resident Counselors live on cam-
pus in apartments. These are mature staff mem-
bers with graduate degrees in counseling. Typi-
cally, there are two men's houses and two
women's houses in each complex. Each house
is occupied by men only or by women only.
Roommate assignments for new students are
made without consideration of race, color, or
creed. Residence houses are open for occupancy
only while college is in session, and must be
vacated dvuing Christmas recess, spring recess,
and after graduation. Times for the opening
and closing of residence houses are given in the
Calendar of Events.
Alcoholic Beverages
Florida law prohibits the sale of alcohol to
persons under 21 years of age. No one is al-
lowed to possess or use alcoholic beverages at
any college function. A student 21 years of age
may drink in his room, provided he maintains
a high standard of conduct and decorum.
Drugs
Possession of, trafficking in, or use of illegal
drugs is grounds for dismissal. The use of non-
prescribed medicines, glue or hallucinogens may
be dealt with similarly. The college will also
attempt to encourage a re-education of the stu-
dent regarding drug usage.
19
FRESHMAN ADMISSION
Admission to Florida Presbyterian College is
based upon past academic performance in
mathematics, science, literature, language and
social studies, achievement on examinations,
and personal qualifications such as character,
special talents, range of interest, maturity and
personal development. The abiUty which the
student has to profit from and contribute to
the learning community is emphasized. Anyone
deemed undesirable because of his conduct
and character may be refused admission or, as
a student, may be requested to withdravi^ from
the college at any time.
Your Application
1. Request application forms early in your
Senior year from the Director of Admissions.
2. Complete and return your application to
the Director of Admissions, with a non-refund-
able application fee of $15, at least two months
prior to the beginning of the desired entrance
date. Students who are financially unable to pay
the $15 application fee will have the fee waived
upon request. Request the guidance department
of the secondary school from which you will be
graduated to send an academic transcript and
personal recommendation to: Director of Ad-
missions, Florida Presbyterian College, St. Pet-
ersburg, Florida 33733.
3. Arrange to take the Scholastic Aptitude
Test offered by the College Entrance Examin-
ation Board. The results of the tests must be
submitted to the Director of Admissions of the
college. Scholastic Aptitude Test scores from a
testing in the Junior year may be used to ad-
mit students before the November or December
test results are processed. Florida Presbyterian
College recommends, but does not require,
that you take the Mathematics I or II and
English Achievement Tests.
Testing centers throughout the country give
20
Notification of Acceptance
The Admissions Office of Florida Presby-
terian College will prepare a file on each candi-
date for admission. This compilation will in-
clude the original request for an application,
transcripts from the high school or preparatory
school, test scores, personal recommendations
from the secondary school, student's statement
of activities and any other pertinent data.
The Admissions Committee of Florida Presby-
terian College meets at regular intervals during
the school year. The first of the regular meet-
ings takes place in October, and if you have
completed your formal application, including
a high school transcript which is complete
through the Junior year and Scholastic Apti-
tude Test scores, it is possible for the Committee
to act upon your application at that time. Ac-
ceptance by the Committee at this time does
not mean that you are obligated to attend
Florida Presbyterian College.
When an application for admission is sub-
mitted to the Admissions Committee and action
has been taken, the Director of Admissions will
the Scholastic Aptitude Test at specified times.
At least six weeks before the date of any of the
tests, you should apply directly to the College
Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Prince-
ton, New Jersey. The Board sends an information
booklet giving full details about testing centers
and the tests available, and will mail the test re-
sults directly to the colleges you designate.
To be admitted to the Freshman class, you
should have demonstrated academic competence
in a high school or preparatory school accredited
by a state or regional accrediting agency. Even
though your academic record will not be judged
primarily on specific units of work, you are ex-
pected to have, generally: four years of English,
three years of mathematics, two years of lan-
guage, one year of history and two years of
21
notify you of the status of your application.
Your application may be accepted pending suc-
cessful completion of the Senior year; admission
to Florida Presbyterian College may be denied;
successful completion of summer school at the
college may be required; or additional infor-
mation may be requested to help the Admis-
sions Committee make a final decision. If you
are for any reason in doubt about the status
of your appHcation, write directly to the Di-
rector of Admissions.
A visit to the Florida Presbyterian College
campus is highly recommended. Please tele-
phone or write to the Admissions Office for an
appointment at least two weeks prior to the
time of the intended visit. Only those students
accepted by the college may be guests of the
college for weekend visits.
A medical examination form will be sent to
each candidate who has paid the $50 accept-
ance fee. This form should be completed and
returned to the Director of Admissions before
the due date which is listed at the top of the
form. No student will be allowed to register
until this form is completed and on file.
Orientation
All new students, Freshmen and transfers, will
be asked to come to the campus for orientation.
The orientation period offers an opportunity
for meeting with college staff, pre-registration,
course counseling and placement testing. Infor-
mation about the orientation will be mailed
July 1 to all applicants who have paid the $50
acceptance fee.
Advanced Placement Program
Courses will be honored at Florida Presbyter-
ian College on the basis of scores on the Ad-
vanced Placement Examination administered by
the College Entrance Examination Board. Scores
of four and five will automatically certify the
student in the course covered by the examin-
ation. Scores of three will be recorded on the
student's permanent transcript and will be re-
ferred to the staff of the appropriate discipline
for recommendations concerning possible credit.
Transfer Admission
If you are a student at another college or uni-
versity, and wish to transfer to Florida Presby-
terian College, you must complete the require-
ments for admission already listed, and submit
a transcript of yoiu- college record with a cata-
logue from all colleges attended. A personal
statement explaining reasons for wishing to
transfer is also required.
Transfer applicants who have previously
taken the Scholastic Aptitude Test may submit
these scores or arrange to retake this examina-
tion. If you have not taken the Scholastic Apti-
tude Test, you must arrange to do so. All appli-
cants must submit results of the Scholastic Ap-
titude Test to the Director of Admissions of
Florida Presbyterian College.
The transfer of credit from other institutions
of higher education approved by the regional
accrediting agency depends upon the corre-
spondence of the courses to those offered at
Florida Presbyterian College and the approval
of the academic division concerned. Grades be-
low C are not acceptable for transfer. Students
wishing to transfer for spring term must have
initiated the application before January 1.
Candidate's Reply
All candidates (including financial aid appli-
cants) will depost $50 with the Director of
Admissions by May 1, if admitted prior to that
date. Applicants admitted after May 1 will be
expected to make this deposit within two weeks
after acceptance. This money, though not re-
fundable, is applied toward the comprehensive
charges upon enrollment.
Early Admissions
Florida Presbyterian College, emphasizing
22
individual education, will admit into the Fresh-
man class certain highly selected students who
have demonstrated scholastic aptitude, academic
preparation, social maturity, and strong moti-
vation, but who have not graduated from sec-
ondary school.
The criteria for determining early admissions
are: 1) completion of the eleventh grade of
secondary school; 2) strong and highly com-
mendable college preparatory secondary school
program; 3) the Scholastic Aptitude Test scores
on both the verbal and quantitative portions of
the examination above 600; 4) approval from
the secondary school principal if the student
had previously planned to be graduated from
the school; and 5) a personal interview with a
member of the Admissions staff, usually at the
college.
Each case will be given careful consideration
by the Admissions Committee.
Costs
A college education of high intellectual chal-
lenge is of lasting value and, like most things
of value, is costly. Only ignorance is more ex-
pensive. Private, non-tax-supported institutions
such as Florida Presbyterian College make every
effort to keep the cost of education down and as
a result, the student pays only a portion of the
actual expense of his education. The portions
paid by the student are as follows:
Annual Expenses
Resident Student
Comprehensive charges — $3,390 (double
room)
Comprehensive charges — $3,490 (single
room - available to upperclassmen only)
Non-Resident Students
Comprehensive charges — $2,345.
These charges include cost of room and
board, post office box, library, athletic activities,
health program, laboratory operations, studio
facilities, accident and health insurance, guid-
ance program, and state food sales tax. All
rooms are air-conditioned during the months of
September, October, November, March, April,
and May. The college assumes no liability for
utility breakdown over which it has no control.
All students living on campus are required to
deposit $15 for room breakage and $5 for key.
An assessment has been voted by the students
to underwrite student sponsored programs, pub-
lications, and similar student functions. The
Student Association has authorized the Comp-
troller's Office to collect this assessment which
is in addition to the annual expenses. This assess-
ment is required of all students and is non-re-
fundable upon payment.
Extra Fees
All new students are charged an orientation
fee of $12. Students with automobiles must pay
a $5 annual parking fee. Private instruction in
music is $240 per year for one hour a week and
$120 per year for one-half hour.
All accounts are due and payable on a term
basis September 6 and January 31. All unpaid
accounts from a prior term must be paid be-
fore students will be permitted to register for
the current term. All accounts must be paid be-
fore students will be permitted to take final
examinations, obtain a transfer of credits, or
be graduated. Specific financial information may
be obtained by writing the Comptroller. The
23
booklet, Financial Guidance for Students, cov-
ers in detail the financial requirements and ob-
ligations of students enrolled in Florida Presby-
terian College. Guides and rules for payments
are contained therein.
In order to meet changing economic condi-
tions, the Board of Trustees reserves the right
to revise charges as conditions may warrant;
the current year's charges will not be adjusted
during the academic year.
Financing Your Education
The payment due September 6 includes the
comprehensive cost for the fall semester and
winter term, minus acceptance fees, plus Student
Association fee, room damage deposit, and key
deposit. The spring semester comprehensive
cost is due on January 31. The college cooper-
ates with insurance and tuition plan companies
to make monthly installment payments possible
when this method of payment of comprehensive
costs more nearly fits the family's budget than
lump sum payments.
Early Payment on Account
If a parent owes at least $2,000 and the total
amount is paid by July 31, a $30 credit will be
applied to the student account.
Aid to Students
Financial aid is made available to students
by the Financial Aid Committee based upon
financial need, academic performance and po-
tential.
Financial need is determined by an evalua-
tion of the Parents' Confidential Statement by
the College Scholarship Service, Princeton,
New Jersey. A student's financial aid is gener-
ally provided in a package form comprised of
scholarship or grant, work aid and loan. Stu-
dents applying for financial aid are automatic-
ally considered for any of these various forms of
assistance.
The college's financial aid program empha-
sizes the self-help concept. The majority of
students receiving financial aid will be partici-
pating in the work scholarship program or one
of the college loan programs.
Student loans are good business: a college
education considerably increases earning power,
whereas most loans require little or no interest.
In some instances, loans may be repaid partly
in service instead of cash. The college has en-
dowed loan funds, federal-guaranteed loan ap-
plications and also participates in the National
Defense Student Loan Program.
To provide students with the opportunity to
earn some of their college expenses, Florida
Presbyterian has created many part-time jobs
on campus. These jobs range from work in the
cafeteria, buildings or grounds, to faculty and
staff offices. It is recommended that Freshmen
not undertake part-time employment off cam-
pus. To complete the work scholarship program,
outstanding upperclassmen are employed as stu-
dent instructors, assisting professors in teaching
and research responsibilities.
Florida Presbyterian College operates with
the policy that every qualified student should
be helped to work out financial problems. Re-
quests for further information regarding finan-
cial aid should be directed to the Director of
Financial Aid.

Heartbeat of a College
In no other area is so much painstaking care
and concern evidenced at Florida Presbyterian
College as in the selection of its faculty— the
heartbeat of any such institution. The faculty
members who are chosen combine scholarship,
strong teaching ability and concern for students.
The criteria for acceptance, as set forth by
the Board of Trustees, call for a teacher who
has depth and command in his field of special-
ization and a breadth of cultural background
enabhng him to relate his own discipline to the
totality of experience; who demonstrates per-
sonal and professional competence and growth
through research, publication and professional
participation; who inspires students with his re-
spect for his profession by his ability, his charac-
ter and his conduct; who has the ability himself
to think creatively and objectively and to in-
spire his students to do likewise; who extends
himself to his students in service, to his col-
leagues in cooperation and to his community in
concern; and finally, whose character the stu-
dents will want to emulate.

COURSE OF INSTRUCTION
Introduction
The number of each course conveys the following information: courses num-
bered 100 to 299 are primarily for Freshmen and Sophomores, 300 to 499 for
Juniors and Seniors. In general, odd-numbered courses are offered in the first
semester; even-numbered courses are offered in the second semester.
Before students enroll in any course, they are to seek advice of their faculty
advisers. Near the close of the school year each Freshman is expected to prepare
a tentative course program for the remaining three years of college and to
present it to his adviser for critical evaluation and counsel. At the end of the
second year of study each student must submit his projected program for
approval by the Committee on Academic Review. A student may revise his
program at any time thereafter with the approval of a major adviser.
Opportunities for independent study are available in all disciplines. Inde-
pendent study contracts are negotiated between the student and the faculty
sponsor. Independent study contract forms are available in the Registrar's office.
This catalog lists the Core courses, which all students must take, and also
the courses according to academic divisions and academic disciplines within
each division. Courses are conducted typically in three lecture-discussion periods
per week supplemented by other periods, studios, or laboratories.
Students receiving the endorsement of the professors in their major field may
take the equivalent of two courses each semester during their Junior and Senior
years in a program of guided independent study and research which should
culminate in an acceptable Senior thesis. Every student must pass a compre-
hensive examination in his major field unless he writes a Senior thesis.
Core Program
The Core program is designed to provide a common educational experience
for all students throughout their college years. The aims of the course are to
promote a community of learners, to demonstrate the interrelatedness of know-
ledge, and to encourage the student to think about the important questions of
the nature of man, his relation to God, to his environment, and to his fellow-
men. Involving faculty from all disciplines, drawdng its subject matter from
all areas of human inquiry and creativity, and organizing its schedule to include
a variety of presentations and readings, followed by small-group discussions,
Core has, after ten years of evolution, remained the vital center of the college's
academic life.
Western Civilization
In Freshman-Sophomore Core, the threads of Western Civilization are
examined, both its heritage and the questions of value that perplex contem-
porary society. Special concern is accorded to the Judaeo-Christian tradition
as a viable option in making judgements and acting on them. The Freshman-
Sophomore Core program provides two hour-long lectures or presentations
39
each week for each entire class. Small discussion groups (averaging 15 Fresh-
men or 19 Sophomores) meet with their faculty leader for two additional ses-
sions weekly for an hour and a half each. The discussions examine in detail
the documents, presentations, and topics under consideration, practicing the
techniques of the dialectical process as students and faculty members collectively
develop and explore ideas, and acquire sensitivity in human awareness. Since
Florida Presbyterian College does not offer or require a Freshman composition
course, the writing program in Core is designed to aid students in the develop-
ment of their writing skills.
The Core Cinema Series presents feature-length films bi-weekly for the
entire student body, but relates primarily to the topics being considered in
Freshman and Sophomore Core.
101 Exploring the Nature of Western Man
Assuming that all Western men share a common heritage which is ever with
us, this semester also demonstrates methods of inquiry by studying an era
(Hellenism), the contemporary developments within a world view (theism),
a revolution in self understanding (genetic evolution), and a people who have
been set apart ( Black America ) .
102 Civilization
Building on Sir Kenneth Clark's film series, a strictly chronological, historical
examination of western civilization concentrates on works of the corresponding
periods from the 11th to the 20th century.
201 Perennial Problems of Society
Dialogues on governance, human rights, and the technological revolution
grow from assigned reading, student-selected works, and a bi-weekly newsletter
which includes articles, reviews, and outstanding student papers.
202 Environmental Studies
The key to this semester is problem solving. Certainly environmental quality
merits study, but this program actually has a broader view that includes techni-
cal understanding, clinical examination of human behavior, community involve-
ment, and group participation in a task force attempting to develop feasible
solutions to local environmental problems.
Area Studies
The Junior year of the Core program features comparative studies of the
works and institutions of foreign cultures, noting the exchange and interaction
between them and our Western tradition. Utilizing four hours per week for
lectures, presentations, workshops, and discussions, the program offers one
semester of Asian Studies for all Juniors, followed by options in the spring
term. These optional Area Studies courses may also be elected by Seniors.
Special programs are arranged for students studying abroad.
40
301 Asian Studies
This course is required of all students in the fall of the Junior year. It
provides an introduction to the traditional civilizations of China, Japan,
and India.
302 East Asian Studies
This coiu-se is one of four that the student may elect in the spring term of
his Junior year. It is a continuation of Core 301 with particular emphasis upon
East Asia and upon the period since 1841.
304 Latin American Studies
This course is one of four that the student may elect in the spring term of
his Junior year. It provides a comparative and historical study of the major
areas of Latin America with particular attention to contemporary problems.
306 Soviet Studies
This course is one of four that the student may elect in the spring term of
his Junior year. It traces the historical background and evolution of contem-
porary Soviet institutions and introduces the student to the present realities
of Soviet life.
308 Black African Studies
This course is one of four that the student may elect in the spring term of
his Junior year. Concentrating on Sub-Saharan Africa, the course examines
the geography, history, and cultural configurations of Black Africa.
Christian Faith and Great Issues
Core in the Senior year focuses upon major social, economic, and political
issues as they affect and shape the students' own value systems. The entire
class attends a weekly evening lecture which is open to the public, followed
by discussion with the speaker. Small discussion groups meet at least once
weekly.
401, 402 Christian Faith and Great Issues
Major problems in personal and social ethics receive special attention in the
Senior year. The basis of the program is a series of presentations by noted indi-
viduals, invited to the campus to perform, argue, demonstrate their skill, and
otherwise address themselves to the issue under consideration. Faculty and
students select issues from among those nominated by students. Each study
group works wdth its faculty discussion leader in preparing its own approach
to the issue: selecting documents, assigning oral and written presentations of
views, and arriving at a method of evaluation.
41
The Major Program
In addition to the breadth of experience available through the Core program,
the college provides a variety of major programs through which the student
can attain proficiency in some particular discipline. Each student is expected
to select a major and to demonstrate the associated proficiency before gradua-
tion. Essential to the demonstration of proficiency in a major is the completion
of a Senior thesis or the passing of a comprehensive examination in the major
discipline. All students take the comprehensive examination unless invited by
the professors of their major discipline to write a Senior thesis instead. In
disciplines such as art, in which the emphasis is upon creation rather than re-
search, an exhibition of completed works is the central element in the Senior
thesis assignment.
The Division of Humanities
The Division offers majors in Art, Classics, Literature, Comparative Litera-
ture, Music, Philosophy, and Religion. In addition, students may request an
interdisciplinary major in Humanities, to be approved by the faculty adviser
and a divisional committee. Further information concerning interdisciplinary
programs can be obtained from the Division office.
ART
Requirements for a Studio Art major: (1) evidence of an aptitude in art
demonstrated through submission of a portfolio in drawing and design; (2) a
Senior exhibition giving evidence of the student's achievement and search for
artistic maturity; (3) a proficiency in at least three media and a working
understanding of art history (Art 201, 202, 211, 212 or demonstrated under-
standing of these same materials) in order to qualify for the Senior exhibition;
( 4 ) eight semester courses.
Interdisciplinary major with emphasis in Art: Art 201, 202, 211, 212, and
two additional courses.
201, 202 Introduction to the Visual Arts
Studio-discussion. An introduction to visual problems and visual problem-
solving calhng for experience in making aesthetic judgements based on personal
involvement and objective analysis.
211, 212 History of Western Art
Survey and analysis of the history of Western art and the role of art in
Western civihzation. (Offered in 1971-72 and alternate years.)
221, 222 Drawing Studio

The basic purpose of the Classics discipline is the presentation of the Greco-
Roman origins of European Civilization through cotuses in both language and
literature. Classics 121, 122 and Classics 331, 332, taught in EngUsh, require no
knowledge of Greek or Latin. All other courses either aim at or require a basic
knowledge of Greek or Latin.
Requirements for a major: competence for a Classics major will be demon-
strated through the qualifying examinations in Greek and Latin and a minimum
of five courses in the languages beyond the qualifying examinations. History
305, Philosophy 301 and winter term studies in archaeology and mythology are
strongly recommended. Students planning to do graduate work in Classics
should acquire a reading knowledge of French or German as undergraduates.
The qualifying examination: required for admission into Greek or Latin
language courses at the tutorial level. The examination will ordinarily be given
after a student has completed the 101-103 series; if equivalent work has been
done independently, however, or if other circumstances warrant, the exami-
nation will be given on demand. For the level of ability required for successful
completion of the examination see Greek or Latin 101, 102, 103 below. A sample
of the examination is available for inspection.
